Dainty sprays of small, fully double, slightly fragrant rose-pink flowers from July to September and glossy rich-green leaves. This repeat-flowering modern shrub rose is an excellent specimen plant for a mixed or shrub border with fertile, moist well-drained soil. Vigorous and hardy it will happily grow in sun or partial shade.

Garden care: Before planting shorten thick roots to 25cm (10in) and reduce top-growth to an outward-facing bud 20-30cm (8-12in) above ground-level. Plant during a frost-free spell incorporating well-rotted organic matter and a balanced fertiliser into the planting hole. Ensure that the 'bud union' (the bulge at the base of the shoots) is 2.5cm (1in) below the soil.
